UNITED STATES MOE JACOB, OF NEW YORK, N. Y

SHOE.

Application filed July 21, 1925. Serial No. 44,997.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Mon JACOB, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the art of making shoes and more particularly to the 0 mode of cutting the material from which the shoes are formed.

The principal object of the invention is to enable the entire upper including the tongue vamp and quarters to be cut from one piece or blank without waste of mate-- rial.

Another object of the invention is to have the ankle cut-out used as the tongue.

Still another object of the invention is to reduce the cost of production by lessening the waste of materialand the labor required in the-manufacture and at the same time render the shoe more easy and comfortable to wear and increase its wearing qualities.

Other objects will appear as the disclosure progresses. The drawings are intended merely to indicate a possible embodiment of the invention. It is obvious therefore.

that the actual needs of manufacture may necessitate certain mechanical changes. It is therefore notv intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated, but rather to define such limits in the append- 5 ed claim.

For a more detailed understanding of the invention, attention is now called to the drawings in which a preferred embodiment is shown. In these drawings like parts are designated by like reference characters in all the views. n

Fig. 1 is a plan View or pattern of a single piece of leather forming what may be termed the vamp, the quarters and the tongue of the shoe.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a completed shoe showing the tongue stitched in place.

Fig. 3 is aside view of the completed shoe.

Fig. 4'is a detached view of the tongue.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, numeral 1 designates a blank form of material from which the shoe is formed,

numeral 2 the vamp, numeral 3 the quarters and numeral 4 a straight slit. Between the quarters a piece of material ,5 isremoved to form the ankle opening, the said I p p piece being later used as the tongue of the shoe and stitched to the vamp bystitches (3 as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

Having thus described my invention, what I desire to secure. by United States Letters Patent is: I

A method of forming the complete upper of a shoe including the tongue which consists in cutting the material. to form the body of the shoe upper and cutting from the said body an ankle opening anda slit extending forwardly from said ankle opening and then attaching the piece cut out N to form the said ankle opening adjacent said slit to form a tongue.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

MOE JACOB.
